Description

VIBRATION INSULATION TAPE ATTACHING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRIM PANEL

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of anti-vibration tape attachment, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for automatically attaching the anti-vibration tape to a trim panel.

A trim panel is a member that is mounted on the exterior of various electronic products or mechanical devices to form an outer frame. For example, trim panels are used to enhance the aesthetics of a car's dashboard or as parts of its exterior, providing a frame of appearance.

Normally, the trim panel is assembled and detached or attached by an adhesive method. Since vibration occurs in an automobile or a mechanical apparatus, vibration sounds are likely to occur in a trim panel mounted by fitting or adhesive bonding. Thus, a plurality of pieces of tape are attached to the trim panel to prevent vibration.

Tape pieces to prevent vibration are usually non-woven tapes, which are usually formed on the trim panel and attached to the portion that serves as a locking jaw when fitting.

These pieces of tape for vibration protection are quite expensive because they are attached manually by workers.

As such, the press holes 61 and 75 for pressing the pieces of tape t attached to the deposition position of the product P to the deposition surface are either one of the pressing unit 6 and the discharge unit 7, or both. Can be placed in. In particular, the case in which both the pressing unit 6 and the discharge unit 7 are disposed may be suitable when the product P has a curved surface. The tilting operation of the product jig unit 1 may be performed for pressing the curved surface. This can be minimized.

Examples of the trim panel anti-vibration tape applying apparatus of the present invention described above can be preferably applied to implement the method of the present invention.

In the method of applying the trim panel anti-vibration tape of the present invention, a step of preparing a tape T including a plurality of tape pieces t cut in a grid arrangement on the release liner n is first performed. This can be realized by cutting the tape T having the release liner n in advance in a grid pattern in advance. The tape T thus prepared is placed in a state capable of being picked up.

Then, a step of picking up one or more tape pieces t of the plurality of tape pieces t from the tape T is performed. Pickup of one or more pieces of tape t may use vacuum adsorption, for example. For example, one or more pieces of tape t may be adsorbed and separated from the release liner n using an attachment unit 3 comprising one or more pick-up fingers 311 that adsorb each piece of tape t. have. Preferably, when the attachment unit 3 picks up the tape pieces t using the pick-up fingers 311, the tape pieces t are adsorbed while the tape T is fixed with the clamp pad 231. You can pick up. The clamp pad 231 has tape holes 2311 exposing each of the tape pieces t to be picked up, and the tape pieces t can be picked up separately in the tape holes 2311. More preferably, the tape T is fixed with the clamp pad 231 and each of the pickup fingers 311 of the attachment unit 3 is inserted into the tape hole 2311 to adsorb the pieces of tape t to release the liner. When detached from (n), the tape by inserting the tweezers 251 penetrating the release liner n from the lower side of the release liner n into the corresponding tape hole 2311 and pushing up the piece of tape t The pieces t are easily separated from the release liner n. In the case of separating / picking up a plurality of pieces of tape t using the apparatus of the present invention described above and attaching each piece of picked-up tape pieces t to a plurality of deposition sites of the product P, each pick-up finger ( It is important that 311) pick up the piece of tape t securely. If not, that is, if any of the pick-up finger 311 fails to pick up the predetermined piece of tape (t), the failure to fail to attach the piece of tape (t) to the deposition position may occur. Therefore, it can be said that it is highly desirable to push up the tape piece t with the tweezers 251 so that the tape piece t is separated / picked up reliably.

Subsequently, the step of attaching the picked up one or more pieces of tape t to the deposition site is performed. When attaching the piece of tape t, each pick-up finger 311 is placed on the upper part of the assigned deposition position and then lowered to attach the piece of tape t. In addition, when the upper surface side of the product P preferably includes a curved surface, it is preferable to attach the piece of tape t by tilting the product P at an appropriate timing so that the deposition position is close to horizontal.

Next, a step of pressing one or more pieces of tape attached to the deposition site of the product P to the deposition surface of the deposition site is performed. This can be done by pressing the piece of tape t by using the press holes 61 in which the shape of each deposition portion is engraved.

After pressing the pieces of tape t, the product P is discharged out of the device. Preferably, the step of discharging can be carried out using a discharging unit 7 having a plurality of suction fingers 71, in which presses against some or all of the tape pieces t attached simultaneously with the suction for discharging. The spheres 75 may be used to press the tape pieces t to the adherend surface.

In the foregoing detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
